8 Deceptively Unromantic "Love" Songs

6. Backstreet Boys - "As Long As You Love Me"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Gl2QnHNpkA The Song You Know It's the one that made a million uteruses glow at the thought of birthing the seed of Nick Carter. And it's the best love song ever because they say that word at least a hundred times by its end. Why It's Not So Romantic This is, plain and simple, not a song about love. It's a song about loneliness. In fact, if BSB's fan base wasn't constantly trying to fan themselves and find the quickest way to remove their bras, they would hear it in the lyrics:
I don't care who you areWhere you're fromWhat you didAs long as you love me
"Awwww sweet," absolutely no one should be saying right now. They don't care to know anything about you, besides the fact that you will love them. Seriously. Couldn't care less about your hobbies, future plans, favorite color, prior convictions, or whether you believe that the Holocaust was made up as a ploy by the Hollywood elite to boost movie ticket sales. Just love them. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, SOMEONE PLEASE JUST LOVE THEM. But that's not romantic. That's just desperate.
